I guess I read 2-3 new books in an average week. That’s 150 or so per year.
I’m not very particular about what I read and make no particular attempt to follow particular authors as there is always something interesting out there to be read.
One thing that does annoy me, however, is publishers that use the same artist over and over again for particular author’s books. Often the cover art from one book is indistinguishable from another, making it almost impossible - for me at least - to be able to tell if I’ve read a book already or not.
And, no, I can’t always remember the titles - after all, I’ve probably read 150 books since that author’s last tome was released.

actually, i like the uniformity of book covers by similar artists. i can see the difference. i have a pretty good memory when it comes to what i’ve read and what i haven’t, but it helps that i keep track by keeping a book log.

Is it only me, then? I don’t have a book log or any kind of aide memoire, but I do find it very difficult to tell one book from another if the cover art is very similar.
